61km from Renfrew · 1 site · Lodging · Renfrew, ON

Our off grid house is nestled in the forest on approximately 5 acres we call Jacobs Landing. It overlooks the wetland of Long Sault Creek, fed by Barbers lakes. The wee house is a pleasant 300 foot walk into the forest off of the main dirt road. There is parking on the property and a gate that can be closed for the ultimate feeling of privacy. Jacobs Landing was designed for an off-grid tiny home in the forest experience. Accommodating two adults only. We prefer no pets as we have much wildlife living in the forest and around the house. Our area, also known as the land of lakes, is gleaming with local farmers markets, great food, artisans, walking trails, many lakes and so much character. We hope you enjoy browsing through pictures and getting familiar with our Forest house. I have just completed building our forest dream and am very excited to share it. I will be working hard on the gardens this spring, with hopes to have fresh vegetables in season for our guests. We also continue to upgrade our walking trails. The forest house is an off grid set up that runs off of solar panels that charge batteries. With this system we are able to run the water pump and supply an inverter to charge devices. Most of the lights in the house are battery operated it doesn’t take much to light this place up. Our water is collected with two 1000 gallon drums supplied by natures finest, our rainfalls. With the water collected I was able to supply a kitchen sink and a shower. Our hot water on demand system works well for the shower. There is a gravity operated sink just outside of the privy. The perfect place to capture or recapture tranquility. An unplugged space for a clear mind, we take pride in being free from WI FI, hydro electricity and cell service is scarce. Signals vary in the forest depending on your server. Our forest house has a cozy, comfortable and unique ambiance. A wood stove for those chilli nights and mornings. An antique, but well functioning ice box. A cozy reading loft, cribbage board, cards and dice. Parking is off the dirt road and about 200 meters from the forest house. It’s a short and lovely walk. We use our UTV to get to and from the forest house and are more than happy to carry your belongings for your convenience. You can shut the gate for a sense of complete privacy once you’re in. Jacobs Landing lies next to Long Sault Creek and its Wetlands. We’ve made sitting spots along the marshland for birdwatching. Barbers lake is situated across from the main house (a ten minute walk). It’s a beautiful spot to spend some peaceful time on the water. A quant quiet lake with little population, no seadoos or speed boats make it a perfectly peaceful body of water with ample wildlife. Whether you enjoy fishing or just enjoying the great views and peaceful tranquil paddling you will certainly enjoy Barbers Lake. Don’t forget your camera! We have a barbeque outside and a two burner propane cook top inside. If you’re staying in the cooler seasons the woodstove works nicely for warming up soup and heating water. We offer a fire pit when there is no “fire ban”. Feel free to gather dead wood in the forest, and we offer wood for sale. When the “ban” is on, or the mosquitoes are annoying. Enjoy a lit screened Gazebo. There will be a visible notice posted in the forest about fire status. We take very much pride in what we have built, it truly is a place of tranquility. My greatest reward will be sharing this with you. I strive to be a great host. This is all new to me, I look forward to meeting you all and welcome your feedback. Available for June 2024

3 nights at Fagan Lake Heights

Beautiful location, it’s as quiet as the description makes it out to be. The campsite area that was provided was well kept and tidy. Some of the amenities were not available due to the lateness of the season and were disclosed prior to arrival. It’s a pull-in site that I feel limits the overall length of vehicle and trailer to get brother location so I’d recommend you check with the host about that if you’ve got a larger rig and may need to coordinate things. I’m relatively new to backing in trailers and I got it parked without any damage (and no spotter). I didn’t have an opportunity to explore the land as much as I wanted, there’s so much to explore. Eric was very welcoming, and provided ample firewood.

Neil has a great place 30 minutes away from Gatineau! U get plenty of privacy on his property. We've enjoyed the sound of the water crrek at night. There is a wood heater inside the tent so the temperature was not too cold in mid october. There is a grocery store 5 min from the camp.... Very convinient. Would recommend!

This was our second time at the site. It continues to be a great location with a lot of privacy. Everything was as mentioned in the description and better. Eric was a great host, and we look forward to booking with him again.

We had a wonderful time! Eric was very kind and helpful, and showed us around upon our arrival. He has everything you could possibly need on the campsite, and the outdoor shower is a great touch! We would definitely recommend this site to anyone who is looking for a calm, peaceful and quiet getaway☺️

4 nights at Fagan Lake Heights

Our 3rd visit was as beautiful as our first two visits. The squirrels, owls, loons, deer, snakes, and toads were exciting to see and hear. Staring quietly into the woods was mesmerizing. We love the peaceful place and privacy. Eric keeps the place in great shape, and goes the extra distance to help with any questions or problems.

Weekend Trip to Fagan Lake Heights

This was our second time visiting Eric's camp site. Weather was cool at night but we were lucky that the fire ban was lifted and that there was lots of firewood to keep us warm. It is such a great spot to enjoy with friends, we had a great time floating on the clear lake, watching all the fish. There are some deeper spots and a jumping rock which was good for swimming. We were lucky to experience a meteor shower while we were there and the dock provided great viewing. Eric was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Already looking forward to coming back!

My husband and I absolutely loved our time here. Especially right beside the river. Wish we would have brought our chest waders to walk right into the river. Beautiful sunsets. The quietest campsite we have ever visited. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Weekend Trip to Tiny Village Bon Echo - Camping

It was close enough to washrooms and other amenities while still remaining private and like you were in the wilderness. Staff were excellent and attentive to any questions. Canoeing down the river was nice because you don’t run into other watercraft, and scenic with nice wildlife. Great walking paths through the forest and up past the waterfall. Would recommend for families with kids. Site 49, “private” tent site is nice for being out of the view of any other site.

Weekend Trip to Ball Lake Tent Camping

Our third time staying at one of Kelly’s sites. Each one has been terrific, exactly as pictured. Pit toilets are cleaner and better equipped than some hotels! Kelly is a fantastic host. We really appreciated that she had her husband cut up a tree and bring it to our site for firewood as none was available for purchase and, being on motorcycles, she knew we would not be carrying any.

Beautiful wooded campsite completely to yourself. We stayed with our dog and cat and had a wonderful time. Great amenities (gazebo, shower, double outhouse). Campsite is right above the lake (5 minutes walk away). Host was very friendly.

3 nights at Sheridan Rapids Kayaking/Lazy River

We stayed for 3 nights at this beautifully maintained site that had everything we needed: picnic table, fire pit, dock with chairs, and a paddle boat! The road wasn’t too busy, the area was quiet, and the water was the perfect temperature! It was a bit awkward fitting our 26ft trailer in through the trees but we made it work with where it was. We will definitely book again!

Weekend Trip to Burke’s Barnyard - Farm Camping

We found Burkes Barnyard on TikTok and were very excited to visit. Everything was exactly as advertised. Beautiful clean sites, wonderful hosts, farm fresh eggs available, and the animals are so much fun with chickens and ducks wandering through our campsite. Everything was perfect and we will be returning in a few weeks.
